The reason why I explicitly didn't follow that direct in the first place
is that svn_hash is very different from svn_config. Moving the
get_bool function to svn_config would basically make it an orphan:
There is no other hash-related function in there let alone a set of
functions that take hashes as kind of an alternative to svn_config
structures.
So, I'm -0 on the rename and -0 on the move.
